I want to face and beat everyone FULL STRENGTH that way idiots cant say what if...

That will be their new full strength...lol I'm cool with it. I did not feel bad that the Ravens did not have Reed just like they didn't feel bad that we didn't have Ben.

Big talker eh...lol Without gives us a bettter chance. It takes the edge off. They have used 2 or more TE 64% of the time so our zone holes would be very vulnerable to these passes. I really feel we should make an exception and give Welker his own CB man on man. I don't want him running throug our zones looking for openings. Modified zone blitz with Welker shadow. Look out for Hernandez. He's exciting. I wish he was our #2 TE.

COOLLLLLLLL, it guarranttees us in the SB? Call the NFL we can just fast forward to Dallas.

I think we still have other games against teams not named the Pats don''t? Or were we playing the Pats for the 15 games?

Pats with Brady our Nemesis...

Steeler fans have too much pride to admit it but I have documented Brady's record against us. He understands Lebeau's defense and is not intimidated. Without moss, this takes away a potential 2 deep TDs for the games.

I do want some competition so I'm glad it is not a situation where the experts say there is no way we should not be in the SB but I'll be happy to see Moss leave.

I figured our Steeler fans would have too much pride to admit that Moss leaving would help us. We tend not to be fair in assessing other teams talent. These same fans would say Ray Lewis makes no difference in Baltimore even though it is clear he is their leader and motivates them. They've said he never makes a difference and only gets tackles because he comes in at the end and touches guys and their coaches cheat and assign him tackles...OK. When I watch, I see Ray making a difference and we would have an easier time against the Ravens if he wasn't there. Do I expect Steeler fans to admit this? Nope...It's all good. It doesn't mean someone is afraid but just giving appropriate credit and assigning odds.

Some fans said Housh would make no difference when I brought up the signing...oops...I guess he made a difference Sunday. We are never fair...it is ridiculous. It's some kind of false pride.

As far as playing the Pats in the playoffs, it would be more special to me if we could play and beat them in the Playoffs. In 2005, someone beat them for us. In 2008, brady was injured so we never had to face them. It is just one of those things like the Red Sox beating the Yankees on the way to the World Series or not having to play them. It is more special to knock them down. I'd rather face them (if we can win) but not until the Championship.

stupid career move by moss, what better way to inflate your stats than play for the #1 quarterback in the league? Brett Favre is in his last year, but hey, that's his choice. I won't complain, this makes it easier for us to reach the SB :P

I dont think the Pats loosing Moss would have anything to do with us reaching the SB. If anything it will be determined by the Steelers themselves. I dont know how you can figure on one guy. We have other teams to get through as well.

This would help the Steelers vs Pats game later inthe season since it seems Steeler cornerbacks can't cover the deep ball, but thats really it, Welker is still the best possesion receiver in the league, but if the Steelers are forced to double team him instead of Moss, it makes it a tad easier.

I'd be more worried about Welker than Moss, Theres a reason Pats left Moss go. They rely on Welker alot for those stupid little slants that seem to bite teams like the Steelers in the azz from playing off to far. I see the Pats picked up Moorehead,another Welker type player.

Yes because the Pats offense is becoming more of a short passing game instead of the spread offense they usually play.
Welker can kill a team deep and short, the only way to cover him is to bump him at the line and have a linebacker or saftey help cover him. Moss was always double teamed which allowed Welker to catch 123 passes last year in like 13 games. The zone type coverage the Steelers play is very good at defending the short passing game if its in the middle of the field, but if its on the outside, it will give up some yards, but I don't think the Steelers will totally bomb against the Pats.
